A Swedish Mountain Walk

It’s autumn. Maybe you have an urge for mountains?
Some of my readers did a search for a map of Kullaberg on my blog.
I would recommend that you take a look at Kullaleden:

The Joy of Colours

Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?
Can one really explain this? No.
~ Pablo Picasso

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
~ Marc Chagall

Note
I was inspired by Steve McCurry’s blog

The Cup Of Ocean

What does the cup of ocean hold?
Glory of purple and glint of gold;
Tenderest greens and heavenly blue,
Shot with the sunlight through and through;
Wayward ripples that idly roam.
Tumbling breakers with gallant foam;
Sands and pebbles that chase and slide;
Mystic currents that softly glide;
Mighty spell of the ages old,
This does the cup of ocean hold…

~ Amos Russel Wells

An Old Village, Søllerød

The village is peaceful. It’s like stepping into another world. A pleasant world.

In Between Horrendous Rain Showers

I took this picture a few days ago in between horrendous rain showers.
Maybe it’s that kind of weather that has hardened Mads Pedersen.
The young Danish UCI-rider who won The World Championships of 2019 in Yorkshire in England on the roads of Postman Pats.
A distance of 262 km.
A huge congratulation to Mads Pedersen.

Greetings from the mountains

Every time I see cotton grass, my thoughts fall on the Norwegian mountain lakes.

The video from the Norwegian mountains is one of my absolute favourites.
Watch and get inspired!

After Rain

Today I had a great bike ride between showers. I felt really lucky when the sun broke through the clouds.

The Heart’s Core

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

~ W. B. Yeats, The Lake Isle of Innisfree

Autumn in the Mountains

Autumn is the wonderful time of year for a walk in the mountains. This image of mine is from Norway on our way to Grimsdalen, Dovre.

He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

A Cautious Visit

Mighty roars that echo beneath the treetops.
Stags are defending their territory and they are fast runners.
You better keep a good distance 😉
